Fair enough.

Since I'm not sure of the context, or source, I'll just share: It might not have the exact ZL1 pieces, but I'm willing to guarantee you it has stronger/different drivetrain components than the SS.

Interesting.

Agreed,

But there's no super-star status with that direction.

I was actually hoping to get out the door on a 2SS/1LE LS7 setup for around 55k. Essentially around the price of a base ZL1. That is adding 11k to the sticker price of my 2SS/1LE just for GM letting it ride. Is this not doable and profitable?

There is after you smoke some Mustangs.

I imagine that is certainly an option...

But I don't think that particular package would live up to the Z/28 heritage. It wouldn't perform as great...and it wouldn't make as big a splash as this one did.

Not bad, or unprofitable...it just might not have been the best option.

Don't get me wrong, the Z/28 is going to get down and dirty on the track and it looks to be an awesome package all around. Suits the name well and I would love to own one if I lived in an area even remotely close to a road course. However that is not the case.
